About pplwise

pplwise helps leading, fast-growing companies reach their growth goals. Our services include Recruiting as a Service and Executive Search, and we specialise in technology companies in their growth phases.

We work with publicly listed companies such as Uber and Just Eat Takeaway, unicorns such as Clark, TIER and Taxfix, and many startups and scale-ups backed by top venture capital firms like Sequoia Capital, HV Capital and Cherry Ventures.

Founded in 2021, pplwise operates in more than 20 countries and has a team of over 40 Talent Partners who help ambitious tech companies through their growth stages.

The project

You’ll be embedded in the recruiting team of a fast-growing space-tech company, helping them build out their organisation. Your hiring will focus on the functions you have experience in: either technical, or go-to-market or general business roles.

Getting started

In your first two weeks, you’ll check in daily with your pplwise lead and teammates. That way you’ll quickly get comfortable working independently with pplwise’s principles, frameworks, and methods, and you’ll get to know the team. Part of your onboarding happens with pplwise and part with the client.

By the end of those two weeks, you’ll have a solid grasp of the client’s vision, strategy, and culture. You’ll also know the goals of the teams and the roles you’ll be hiring for. You’ll have built relationships with the hiring managers and their teams, and you’ll have put together a delivery forecast using the pplwise methodology.

From there, you’ll take ownership of your roles, build pipelines, and proactively share insights with key stakeholders so bottlenecks are spotted and dealt with early.

What you’ll do

  • Own the client’s hiring goals across either tech or go-to-market and business roles, end to end.

  • Manage stakeholders proactively, acting as a strategic partner who spots bottlenecks and solves them through clear communication and critical thinking.

  • Build and run hiring forecasts. Choose the right channels and strategies, with a clear sense of urgency and backward planning.

  • Use recruiting systems and data to drive decisions before and during each search.

  • Deliver an excellent candidate experience from first contact to offer.

  • Work closely with the wider pplwise team, giving and getting support on sourcing or delivery bottlenecks.

What you bring

  • Several years of full-cycle recruiting in startups, scale-ups, or other high-growth environments. Agency experience is a plus.

  • An understanding of how tech organisations are structured at different growth stages, and the ability to help hiring managers define roles.

  • Comfort working independently as a freelancer in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.

  • Decisions based on data and facts.

  • High standards for stakeholder satisfaction.

  • An ambitious, collaborative mindset.

  • Fluent English, written and spoken. French is a plus.

What we offer

  • A dynamic, high-impact project helping a fast-growing space-tech company scale.

  • Fully remote work with flexibility and autonomy.

  • Competitive hourly rates.

  • A talented, ambitious, and collaborative team of Talent Partners to work alongside.

  • The pplwise playbook, frameworks, and training to help you deliver at a consistently high standard.
